This is a Belgian-specific Angular application for healthcare professionals to manage electronic prescriptions.
It integrates iCure's APIs — @icure/cardinal-be-sam and @icure/be-fhc-api — to streamline:
- 🔐 Practitioner certificate management
- 🔍 Medication search
- 📝 Electronic prescription creation & editing
- 🧾 Prescription overview & sending
- 🖨 Printing of prescriptions
This component is designed for integration with Belgium’s SAM platform and can easily be embedded into other medical software projects as a drop-in feature for prescription management.
iCure is the company that provides a secure, end-to-end encrypted backend-as-a-service for Health-Tech, allowing companies to build fully compliant medical solutions faster.
Cardinal is iCure’s backend platform that provides data management, security, and interoperability features.
(In this project, we do not use the Cardinal backend directly — we integrate with iCure's public API packages to access its SAM and FHC features.)
- 🇧🇪 Designed specifically for Belgian healthcare professionals
- 🔐 Practitioner certificate upload & verification
- 🔍 Medication search powered by iCure's SAM SDK
- 📝 Create, edit, list, send, and print prescriptions
- 🧠 Structured and unstructured posology support
- 📜 Interacts with Recip-e to send prescriptions
- 🧩 Ready to integrate into medical apps
- 💾 Secure token and certificate storage in IndexedDB
- 🌍 Fully internationalized with on-demand translation (French, Dutch, German, English)
- Angular 19.x Standalone components
- iCure SDKs (
@icure/cardinal-be-sam,@icure/be-fhc-api) - RxJS for reactive data handling
- IndexedDB for token & certificate persistence
- SCSS for component styles
- TypeScript for strict typing
- ESLint + Prettier for code style & linting
- UUID.js for unique identifiers
- jsBarcode for barcode generation in printed prescriptions
Before starting, make sure you have:
- Node.js v16+ and Yarn installed
- A valid Belgian practitioner certificate file that you can load into the app
- The ICURE_URL environment URL
- The practitioner credentials for iCure authentication — these must be generated on your side.
You can do this inside your application using the@icure/cardinal-sdkfor a more scalable approach (we will add How-To), or via the iCure Cockpit (we recommend this only for testing purposes or for very small projects):- Create a HCP in Cockpit
- Generate the authentication token for the HCP
Once generated, you will need the HCP’s email address and the authentication token.
- The patient and healthcare professional information to populate prescriptions
(This section will be updated when published as a library.)
To start a local development server, run:
ng serve
Once the server is running, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The application will automatically reload whenever you modify any of the source files.
When the prescriber selects a medication, this application integrates with the SAMv2 database to provide all up-to-date metadata. This includes:
-
Links to the leaflet & SPC.
-
Special status indicators:
- Black triangle (additional monitoring).
- RMA material links.
- DHPC communications.
- Temporary supply problems.
- End of commercialization or future commercialization.
- VMP group information and switch statuses.
- Conditions of delivery/prescription and risk minimization messages.
- Reimbursement details (chapters, categories, extra reimbursement for youth contraception).
More information is available on the SAM portal.

💡 Note: This module is built for integration with Belgium’s SAM platform, is modular, and can be easily adapted for use in other iCure-based medical solutions.
